Today marks Safer Internet Day, promoting making the internet a safer place.
This year's theme is "Together for a better internet" and calls on everyone to unite to create a kinder and better online community for all, especially for children and young people.
To help families talk about using the internet safely, the Premier League Primary Stars site has a range of resources and worksheets that can be downloaded to work on at home. For example, children can become internet detectives, conducting research to create a factfile on a Premier League footballer.

There are also top tips for staying safe online while youngsters can take part in a fact-finding challenge that teaches them how to gather reliable information from the internet.
The resources teach children how to avoid and report cyberbulling and online racism.
